yes for me it will be cluttered nga..so it will depend on your priorities then sir..yes you can opt to ditch your Pio FS speakers for a good BS speakers for TV and Audio..but how about the amp?  Will you be satisfied with your Pio receiver for Audio duties?  I checked the back of the vsx-405 in the net and it looks like you have the option to choose channel A or B for Fronts..do you plan on building 5.1 set up for HT?

If I get a good pair of BS speakers, medyo OC ako so I don't want it used for HT haha...  Gusto ko dedicated siya sa audio.

I may just give up the HT setup for a simple 2.1 system or maybe even a soundbar to get rid of the clutter.  Not that particular with HT.

Ibuhos ko na lang budget sa audio setup.  I'm looking at the Creek 4040s and pair it with PSB speakers.  Do I save the Pioneer receiver or no point in keeping it?  Wala yatang pre-outs as far as I can tell

Yun... finally got some direction. Hehe...

So for the audio setup, it's just going to be the Integrated Amp straight to the speakers plus the source (i.e. CD or TT)?

minsan nag-uwi sa project site yung amo kong kano ng sound system, napakaliit nya, pero nung pinatunog na, napuno ng sounds yung 40 footer container namin....

Updating this thread...

Finally pulled the trigger on my home audio setup. Got a NAD C316BEE and PSB Alpha B1 speakers.  For now, running Spotify through an iPad until I wait for my other components.  But quite happy with the sound

Thanks to Superman for the input in pairing the NAD with the PSB.

For the study/home office, I opted for a vintage feel and got a Creek 4040s2 powering Mordaunt Short MS10s.

Next project is the headless music server for both the AV room and the study

Not meaning to say na mahina yun sound system but I would like to think na considering your friend played it sa isang 40 footer, sa dami ng reflections and flutter echoes niyan at sa haba niyan, mapupuno talaga ng sound yun 40 footer.

Mga madalas kong nakikita na malakas are the Bose cubes. Though Daichi has an equivalent, I'm not sure if it can play loud.

Your receiver should have onboard phonostage and dac and at least 3 pairs of rca input and 1 digital input. What u have in mind will suffice.
